George asked: "anyone know how difficult it is to build up your own custom cassette these days?"
Just like virtually anything, the real answer is: it depends There are individual cogs out there. If you can find the collection of individual cogs you need, then the actual physical effort of "building up your own custom cassette" is small. If your tastes in exactly what you want those cogs to be are way out beyond the fringe of what anybody else wants, then it might be hard. A lot of people buy a cassette that is close to what they want and remove and replace the cogs that they don't like. Some people get what they want by buying two cassettes and using the top half of one with the bottom half of another. If you determined that your project requires you to remove and replace the cogs that are riveted to those carrier things, that gets a lot harder. If you accumulate individual cogs, and you use friction shifting, then just about anything is achievable with plentiful spacers in all conceivable widths At the end of the day it i's all very case by case. If you know exactly what you want, and want assistance from this knowledgeable group on the smartest (or the cheapest) way to accomplish it, then maybe you should just describe what you are after.
